These are not an aftermarket wheel and FYI you can goto any dealer and pick these up for just over $200 a piece new. Thats maybe $1000 new. Tires you can get for as low as $400 for cheap tires or $600 for better tires.
What dealer sells OEM rims for $200 a piece? Please post of link of where we could buy these for that price. When I needed a replcement, all the Honda dealers around me wanted 300+ a rim.
Also, what tires are you talking about that are in the 400-600 range? Are you comparing apples to apples??? (max-performance to max-performance)

Superfunguy,
You have to shop around. If you have a buddy that works at the dealer check out what they pay for them. Its under $200 a wheel and they mark them up 200%. Infact I remember looking at my buddies screen in Hawaii (manager of parts) and the 00-03 stock wheels they bring in for $166 a wheel and mark them upto $300+ a wheel. Thats ghey
. I dont see it being much more per wheel for the 04-05. They are 17 inch stocks. Big deal. $166 is all (00-03) are worth IMO per wheel. They are taking people to the cleaners and the sad thing is most of you guys dont think and buy them for that crazy price. IMO get aftermarket wheels. Sorry to be crapping on this thread but I am just stating opinion and fact here. 
I will also let you in on a little secret.
Have you guys heard of a junkyard? 00-05 wheels can be had for under $800 a set if you can find them.

JsAP1 I totally agree with you. People are better off buying aftermarket wheels. Just save up a little more. Although you can find a sucker every minute
You know whats even worse is the price on the NSX stocks. The Zanardi edition wheels retail at close to $6000 for stock wheels. Thats crazy. I do really like them but you could get a close looking aftermarket BBS wheel and paint it black or gunmetal and spend $4000 less. Just an observation.

Who said that? I didnt. If you would read the entire post before posting I said over $200 so that could mean $201-$299. Thats not trick science here.
How about I sell you something for just over $200, and ask for 299?
Then you'd say we agreed on $200 and a little more, not $300.
